Incident No. 2 — 7 July 1947, 1300-1400 Hours, Lakeland, Fla.
One observer reported hearing a swishing noise and then seeing, five shiny objects climbing from 5000 ft to 7500 ft in fifteen to thirty seconds. He estimated the objects were one mile from him. The lead object was of plastic appearance and appeared to be towing the other four. The reporter made a model and submitted it as an exhibit. The model is roughly two feet in diameter, domed top and bottom and with an opening in the rear on either side of a vertical fin. Police records list the man as having been AWOL from the Navy on two occasions. A neighborhood and employment check disclosed he is an excitable person, very talkative, possessing an exaggerated imagination, and inclined to impress people with his continuous verbal chatter.
AMC Opinion: This incident has all the aspects of a psychopathological report.
